Quick Livescope voltage question...

Online search says that Livescope can run on 10-32V.

I have two 9AH AGM batteries that start out around 13V. I want to run them together for longer use during the day.

Would it be best to:

1. Run them in parallel, to start out with 13V (12V nominal)
2. Run them in series, starting around 26V? (24V nominal)

Is there any benefit or detriment to running them at the higher voltage, or will it run the same either way?

Thanks.

I would think rhe batteries would last longer running parallel.

I'm starting to lean that way. Thanks for the quick reply

It wouldn't matter either way, because the electronics use the same amount of watts either way, more voltage means less amps drawn.

Probably healthiest for your batteries to run them in parallel.

Is that because they tend to get run further down when run in series? So instead of running until 50% depleted, you run them down to 25%, since you have the extra voltage?

They'll use the same amount of power either way like Kevin said
